Kerrachar Gardens
Kerrachar is a garden oasis in the wilds of
north west Sutherland.
Started in 1995, it has been developed on the site of a disused
croft and at present covers approximately 1 hectare(2.5
acres).
 |
The garden features herbaceous perennials
which grow extremely well in the cool and damp climate of
northwest Scotland. Primulas and Meconopsis (Blue Poppies) are
prime examples of these plants. The plants are propagated on site and many are for sale. |
Visiting KerracharOpening times:mid-May to mid-September. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday |
|
| Kerrachar is not far distant from Kylesku
but there is no road to it and the only approach is to take the
special trip by boat from the Ferry Pier at Kylesku. The boat trip takes about half an hour and on the way, apart from the stunning views, you may be lucky enough to see an otter in Loch a Chairn Bhain. |
